I am custom building my own computer. I do have somewhat of a budget about maybe $1000 but I am willing to go over. I open to any opinions, recommendations, and ideas. If I leave something out or if these parts aren't compatiable let me know. Also I have read many books on building and a few sites I would be open for you to share some books and sites for me to look at. Thanks

Tell me what do you think? Oh and btw I do a lot of things with my compters like gaming, internet surfing, photos, watch movies, and for school and might be using it as a business down the road. I also want it to be easy to upgrade down the road. Thanks for looking.

2) Your proposed case only has an 80mm exhaust fan. You should get one with at least a 120mm exhaust for quiet, efficient cooling. Something like an Antec SOLO would do nicely. If you really want a window on your case, you could look at the Chenbro Gaming Bomb, but I'm not sure how good it really is. Its the only case with a window on SPCR's recommended list.

I completely agree with stromgald about the noise problems, let me add my opinion about performance:

First off, how much/serious do you plan on gaming? You currently have alot of your budget in a high-end motherboard. From your selection of a 7600GT, I will assume that gaming is not the largest priority. I think a mobo with a single PEG slot will suffice. Something similar to these

If you game casually, I would stay with the passive 7600GT. If you want solid performance, (high settings at medium resolutions), I would recommend a X1950PRO, which is about $200. (of course with a VF900 or Accelero X2 on it)

I also think that you could better spend your money by taking the Intel route. An E6300 will offer slightly less or similar performance than the X2 4600+. I see Intel's future to be brighter then AMD's, so I would give up that fraction of performance for future upgrades. (You could easily make up the difference by slightly OC'ing the E6300) I also missed your CPU cooler. Most people here at SPCR would recommend a Scythe Ninja.
